I have heard some horrible things about the craftsman jacks. Do a search. Some people love and some absolutely hate them.
BTW, the omega jack looks pretty nice, now im thinking about that one.

The Omega does look nice, and it's $190 and free shipping ordered direct from Tooltopia.

That American Forge jack is listed at 32 lbs. That's pretty light for an attempt at a serious duty floor jack. Can't find the weight on the Omega, but it only ships via truck, that tells me that it's probably pretty serious.

I have an AC hydraulics jack and love it. The lowering mechanism is so smooth and trouble free. Unlike other jacks, when you go to lower the ac hydraulics jack, it moves pretty slow and consistent, making putting jack stands under the car worry free.
yeah I would like to have one of those, but I think thats just too much moneyfor myself. At this point, I cannot imagine spending more than 150-200 on a jack. And at times it seems like a bit of a stretch. But I think not having to make jacking up my car a two step process is worth the extra 50-100 dollars over height standard floor jacks.
By the way, asedeals.com did say they would match tooltopia.com's price and further would ship it UPS. But I can accept freight at my work, so I think I may go with tooltopia.

I have this chinese copy of the AC Hydraulics jack and I'm in love with it. I've used both the AC and this one. It's made in china and feels slightly cheaper than the AC but that doesn't detract from its functionality. Only drawback is that the jack weighs a lot which isn't a big deal really. I bought it to go rallying with and I think I'm gonna have to start working out before I can pick this thing up and throw it in a truck.

I don't care what brand you decide on, just make sure it is long and low. Being able to jack the crossmember and rear differential with my jack is worth every penny, especially with my lowered car.

I hate Craftsman jacks. I finally broke down and bought a Norco model 71202A. Parts are made overseas, but it's assembled here in the US. Even come with a lifetime warranty. http://www.norcoindustries.com/
